Crockpot Chicken and Gravy
Crockpot Ranch Chicken and Gravy is pure comfort in a bowl. The chicken comes out so tender it practically melts in your mouth, soaking up all the creamy, savory goodness of the ranch-infused gravy. The cream of chicken soup and chicken broth creates a rich, velvety sauce with just the right flavor from the ranch dressing mix. Whether you serve it over fluffy mashed potatoes, rice, or buttery biscuits, every bite is hearty, flavorful, and downright irresistible!
How to Make Ranch Chicken and Gravy
This recipe is effortless to make with only four pantry ingredients. Place boneless skinless chicken breasts in a slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, ranch dressing mix, and chicken broth. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken breasts. Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW heat until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it with two forks. Place the chicken back in the slow cooker and stir. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley.
